Thier management of the perception and visualisation of Rangers Supporters, players, situations and fans is high on the overt and covert derogatory narrative. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) VAR wouldn't make any difference. The scum would still go tonto every time we beat them. Edited January 8, 2019 by Gonzo79 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I am all for VAR but I think the VAR officials should make the final decision and not the referee. Having a referee trudge over to watch something the VAR officials have looked at from every angle possible is a waste of time. It is having teething problems and some decisions will still remain debated as it is an opinion and they differ from person to person. That is why I think a 3 man VAR team will at least give a majority decision. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reviewer(s) look at the data and make a decision that they communicate to the ref on the pitch who then takes the appropriate action. Seems sensible to me! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't sit right having guys sitting in a cosy studio making decisions that could overrule the referee. Just bring arguable decisions to the ref's attention so that he can change his mind if he feels he has made a wrong decision. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby and cricket are different in that the ref or umpire calls up the review when he cannot make up his mind on what decision to take. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so in cricket. The umpire makes his decision strictly in response to the appeal of the players. That decision can then be reviewed but again only at the appeal of the captains. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
